Grilled Balsamic-Garlic Steak Recipe

Summer is in full swing! So naturally, this means that many meals are done on the grill.

I personally love grilled food.

Even if you don’t have a big back yard you can grill. When grilling indoors I like to use my Le Creuset Square Skillet Grill – and it does a decent job.

This past weekend I prepared this delicious steak with balsamic vinegar and garlic. Exquisite! The taste was perfect. The meat was very soft, and it nearly melted in our mouths. You can notice how much I like steak, can’t you?

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions (scroll down).

• Balsamic vinegar
• Worcestershire sauce
• Garlic 
• Kosher salt
• Black pepper
• Olive oil
• Fresh rosemary
• Steak of your preference, such as Top Sirloin (budget-friendly), Flank Steak, Flat Iron, Filet Mignon (expensive), Striploin, or Ribeye. 

HOW TO MAKE GRILLED BALSAMIC-GARLIC STEAK

Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and detailed instructions (scroll down).

1. Make the Marinade: Mix together in a large plastic bag the balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, and rosemary. Add the steak let it marinate for 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
2. Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high and cook the steak for 6-8 minutes per side for rare and a few minutes longer for medium. Let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
3. Serve: Slice the steak thinly and serve. 

HOW TO SERVE

To accompany the meat, I prepared some spiralized curly fries with garlic, corn with herb butter and cheese, cranberries barbecue sauce, and of course, I couldn’t forget the cilantro mojo. Finally, as a dessert: churro bites with chocolate.

STORING & REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS

Store grilled steak covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Then, to reheat, place the steak in a microwave save dish, cover with plastic wrap and reheat in 30-second periods, turning the steak in between. Or, if you have time to spare, place the steak on a wire rack set over a baking tray, reheat it in the oven at 250ºF for around 20-30 minutes.

Oriana’s Notes

 

STORE: Store grilled steak covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

 

REHEAT: place the steak in a microwave save dish, cover with plastic wrap and reheat in 30-second periods, turning the steak in between. Or, if you have time to spare, place the steak on a wire rack set over a baking tray, reheat it in the oven at 250ºF for around 20-30 minutes.

 

MARINADE ADD-ONS: Add 1 teaspoon of red chili flakes to the marinade if you like heat, and/ or add 1/4 cup of light beer to enhance the flavors even more.

 

How To Cut Beef Against the Grain?

To slice the beef, place it in front of you. First, find the direction of the grain, in a few words: which way the muscle fibers are aligned. Then slice across the grain, 90 degrees through the fibers, rather than parallel with it.
